Skullys.

David is on the board. Repeat: David is on the board.

 

And he could've taken the lead if he'd also known that in 1997 the club at 1151 N. High St. was called "Skankland." Good times.

Good beer and good ale--

That’s Columbus, I’m thinkin’.

But there’s really one good ale

That reminds me of Lincoln.

Goodale Park? (With montecarloss making a cameo!)

 

How about a statuesque portrait of the park's proprietor?

Where Pablo and Winslow

And Claude hang around.

Columbus Museum of Art... image from ohiodominican.edu:

Clue #19 (really not a sculpture):

 

Find the lair of the party of pious

It's oh-so ironic you see

One view speaks to altitudes joyous

And the other one, merriment twee

This is some incredible word smithing.

whaaa?

This is some incredible word smithing.

 

It's the first clue actually written by me.

 

Now let's see yer pitcher.

not hotlink friendly and I'm far too lazy to do anymore effort

 

Consarn you Clever Clevelanders!

 

Whoever can link their own photo shares the points.

Here's the Gay & High building with the GOP signs in the window.

 

Thanks to the pope for pointing the way.  My guess would have been the Ohio Republican Party HQ Building at Fifth & Rich.  But now I see where the kingfish was going with "altitudes joyous" and "merriment twee".

 

 

Good work, studs.

 

And with this, The Great Columbus Photo Scavenger Hunt (along with its instigator) takes a brief 7 day haitus. Fear not. We'll be back up and running with new clues on September 18, 2007.
